Suggest Treatment For Sensitive Foreskin With Redness

for 2 months skin of tip of penis on one side is very sensitive to rubbing like from underwear or towel. went to urologist who said meatus is fine. its the skin next to meatus. i have to use a bandaid which prevents rubbing but its not improving. doesnt hurt with sex or urinating. but upsetting since i have to keep using a bandaid and change it everytime i pee. help. what can i do to get this away. no itching or blisters etc. just small area min red. not swollen etc. looks pretty normal. it does seem that when i pee. the meatus seems to stay open more and i have some extra drops of pee than normal. im 50 and have been going slightly more freq to bathroom. sometimes it feels like the meatus is getting caught on underwear but urologist felt it was irrit of skin. whats treatment/ thx

Hi and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After reading history you provided, I could conclude that most probably you may be having candidal balanoposthitis. It is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Wetness, soap, excessive bathing, poor immunity and DM might precipitate the disease. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Diabetes should be ruled out. Keep good hygiene and improve immunity. Anti-fungal tab like Ketoconazole and application of Anti-fungal cream like Clotrimazole cream may be considered under dermatologist observation. Wash the area with diluted dettol.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
